Pizza Nova launches today its 26th annual That’s Amore Pizza for Kids fundraising campaign in support of Variety – the Children’s Charity of Ontario. Since the campaign’s inception, Pizza Nova has raised over $2.7 million for the Variety community. This year's campaign, under the message of “Dip ‘n Give”, reasserts the company’s commitment to bringing even greater awareness and financial assistance to keeping kids active, engaged, and feeling truly included.
Throughout the month of May, Pizza Nova will donate 50 cents from every dip sold at participating locations to Variety, helping children with disabilities gain access to inclusive sports and recreational programming. This year, for the first time, Pizza Nova introduces a pop-up pizza shop at the Variety Village Café. Every Thursday throughout May, visitors can purchase fresh cheese or pepperoni pizza slices and a selection of delicious dips, with proceeds supporting the campaign.
This year’s musical, Something Rotten! opens next Wednesday, and we couldn’t be more excited to show you what we’ve been working on! Take a look at our rehearsal footage – You’ll get a good laugh! Watch the Reels that the students are creating on Instagram @ocvipa. Please help us publicize this fantastic show!
A few roles are double cast – see the poster.
Grab some friends and make a night of it: this show is geared for adults (but kids enjoy it too) – some bawdy humour, hilarious Musical Theatre and Shakespearean references. Even if you miss the references, it is highly entertaining!
